The love rocket drop rate really is a slap in the face

Oh yeh let me just dig up an old article from 11 years ago. Every and anyone who is a mount farmer knows it was not dropping and unfortunately I have no way to even know if you are a mount farmer, very typical from trolls around here making egregious claims to also block their armory.

well i got it. and i know multiple people in the “Alt Army” community we were in back then that got it as well. so you can do with that as you please.

and gl on your big love rock farm. hope you dont have to attempt it even 5% of what i did before i got mine. next time be a little nicer before you end up making yourself look bad again.

no need.

that’s what wowhead is for.

there’s posts discussing exactly what you were talking about.
…and anyone who was around at the time, would know that it hadn’t dropped for anyone else in the world.

that was just one comment…
further reading will confirm that you’re correct. :slight_smile:

everyone.
25th sept 2012, to …some time in 2013 (i’d have to guess at the specific month it became available, because i don’t know if wowhead uses a US or “rest of the world” date syntax)

Too bad those old forum posts still don’t exist, but then that was on the old old old forums from a decade ago.

Pretty sure that is February 2013. So almost 6 months, not 9 like I thought.

yeah… the forums from back then are gone, along with all blue posts of the era.

but it was definitely a thing which happened.

It is an elusive item. It’s supposed to be uncommon, you’re not guaranteed to get it. No one is forcing you to farm it.

While I agree the drop chance is dumb-- Invincible says hello? :dracthyr_cry_animated:

Unless there’s some secret to getting it to drop that I’m not in the know about, in which case: PLEASE tell me!

Nobody has ever sent me a message saying “OMG I FINALLY SAVED UP ENOUGH CURRENCY FROM GRINDING HOLIDAY QUESTS TO PUCHASE THE THING I WANT OFF OF A VENDOR”

But I have gotten a few variations of “OMG IT FINALLY DROPPED!!!” over the years.

But that’s just me, I guess.

this is the issue.

it can’t be farmed like other mounts.

there’s only a tiny window each year.

how many years is reasonable to not see it drop, when you’re actively doing as many runs possible each year?

Invincible drop rate is fine.
Everyone I know who has tried farming it, has obtained it.
The issue (once again) is that too many people who say they “farm” Invincible, don’t have the number of kills consistent with actually attempting to religiously farm it.

Yeah, you already said that in several threads and this one…if you don’t like the fact that other players want this reward then just move on. We’re asking for improvements to this grind regarding gameplay, probabilities…etc, Devs already acknowledge these issues once, they could do it again.

There’s different kind of players and some players meta game is collecting, We just want a Goal that can be achieve and not a 100% RNG reward for a limited time event, maybe we won’t get any future change but at least we tried just like any player asking for class changes.

Exactly, If I don’t get it today, then 2 years since Devs implemented the first daily attempt, Who can provide me some certainty that won’t repeat for 4-8 more years?

Every time people have complained about the Love Is In The Air mount, I’ve noticed two things:

  1. They insist on calling it the love rocket (fair enough)
  2. And they insist on saying something about a slap in the face

I don’t really know what that means, but I couldn’t help but notice.

Also, Invincible is part of the BMAH, besides that the mount has been part of some anniversaries event drops.

In order to compare rewards based on RNG , we need to compare the drop % and the frequency of attempts.

it was?

i don’t remember that

there are masses of variables, and we still don’t know what:

means in terms of numbers.

Exactly there’s some variables besides the drop %, its really difficult to compare 2 rewards based on RNG.

The most any reasonable person (i.e. one account) can farm the love rocket each year is 60 times a day, over 14 days that’s 840 attempts. Once only per day at a higher drop rate, then the remainder of the 826 attempts at the old 0.0003% drop rate.

That’s far from fair, especially considering any reasonable person is only ever going to do a handful of alts a day, if that. I see many people not even doing first chance of the day, and many who give up after a couple of days simply because it is 100% RNG.

If we compared this to any other RNG mount you would want to make it a minimum 1% every chance at least, if not more considering you only get 2 weeks to try.

IMHO, Devs should move on from Alts and provide better BLP for any players that use from 1 character to X amount of characters…for all RNG related rewards.

Currency or BLP, anything else other than just pure RNG would be nice. Maybe a different type of currency per expansion. I don’t mean, and I doubt ANYONE means, that we want to get the mount in 3 attempts or degenerate farm some coins to get it in an hour.

I speak on behalf of any true mount farmer and say, none of us would care if it took years of farming to get enough BLP or currency to buy a mount or pet or mog of our choice, as long as we have clear goals on how long it could take to get the item.

Just got it today. It was my first run of the day, but also run 131 this event. 10x a day every day

Devs could even use the BLP from Legion legendaries…the drop % was increasing until at somepoint you got a legendary.

They lied about the drop chance increase or the drop rate got a few more zeros. I give up. I have a better chance of getting super powers irl at this point then getting that thing.
